Answer

DOWDY

This adjective describes someone or something that is unfashionable, dull, or lacking style. It often implies a shabby or frumpy quality, particularly in clothing or overall appearance. The word has been in English usage since the late 16th century, likely derived from an earlier term for a plain or dull woman.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which is one of the trickier patterns in Wordle. When you have confirmed several letters but the word still does not click, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. Double letters are more common than many players expect.
